I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.

Just turn monsters on. Done.
That's what I do.
I also now turn villages off because I like minecraft as a survival game, not a tralalalala walking thru the forest hey a village I can survive now game.
Pussies.

>Just turn monsters on.
Yes, obviously, but have you even heard of any game where the enemies - the actual challenge - started out being turned off in the settings, as if they were extras? Minecraft is now some sort of screensaver that can be turned INTO a game.
So after the enderman and the silverfish, what mob is up next? Sharks? Bears? No, meet the MOOSHROOM: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mooshroom
It's a toadstool cow that you can shear for toadstools.
I thought Notch hired a consultant about these kinds of things.

If I paint my dick green and call it a creeper, will his 6yo son allow it into its little cave to blow up in creeper juice?
Seriously, why haven't we heard more stories about pedos infiltrating Minecraft servers in order to meet up with children? Because nobody wants children as retarded as Minecraft players?
What about meeting up with them irl just to beat them up?

When you're trying to troll, make sure that you know basic things about the game, such as it still being in 1.8.1, and has been in beta for a looong time.

Looking back, I can understand why Minecraft became so famous and successful, and it's funny because it isn't the game design. There were three reasons, all of them on YouTube:
The first was that noob burning down his house, getting punished by his stupidity, making us think that this game would deal with noobs very harshly.
The second was SeaNanners, and his plain charm. It sounds really gay, I know. The ugly truth is that psychopaths have the exact same charm about them, but as long as SeaNanners and I are worlds apart, I don't worry.
The third reason was X. X doesn't play Minecraft in a normal way. He explores and he experiments like a little kid, while still being mature about it. When Minecraft stopped throwing him interesting things, he quickly grew bored and stopped, and he told us straight that no amount of useless cookies would bring him back. (He's back NOW, but he told us it won't be for long, and I believe him.)
Two Let's Players managed to make a stupid game (that became exponentially more stupid later on) seem really interesting all by themselves. That's a creepy realization.

If you thought enderman EROSION was bad, then get a load of this: Animals are now permanent. They never spawn or despawn anymore. If you kill them, they're gone. If they fall down a deep cave or drop and die, they're gone. If the endlessly spawning wolves get to the sheep before you do, then no wool for you. If you want food now, you're going to have to grow it out of the ground. Unless you somehow herd all the animals into safe houses, they're going to die sooner or later.
This was meant to be part of an animal breeding system, but with the actual breeding not implemented, or even a herding system, it's just an extinction program.
I, for one, still got 1.7 installed.
I got cows all over my yard, and I kill them all I want.

Actually, it turns out that MinecraftChick is the second MANAGING DIRECTOR (CEO) of Mojang. (She's listed as such on the wiki.) Mojang AB is a shareholding company, isn't it? I don't know what's worse: That they hussled their fans, how the company percieves their fans, or that Mojang is run by a little girl in a pink wig who can't even play the game.

Minecraft players are still oblivious as to why Notch would punish them for sleeping in the middle of the wilderness. From the official bug list:
"Occasionally, the player will wake when it is still night - sometimes spawning an enemy next to them." http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Known_bugs#Beds_2
I'm amazed they haven't added "Often when jumping off a high cliff, the player will lose health upon landing.".

Jebs comment on how their Sonic XP doesn't work outside platform games, and keep crashing their servers:
"I guess we'll have to add a max amount to how much that may be dropped..." https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/114996544217944064
Why, Jeb? It's a horrible furry belief system - let it die in a fire!
Also, speaking of dying in a fire: What happens if you DO happen to die in a fire, or fall through the bottom of the world, or in any other way where your XP will simply be destroyed or not be able to be collected? This mechanic worked in Sonic The Furry because you weren't instantly teleported back to the beginning of the level, and you didn't build a career on collecting those rings. ...but no, the Sonic XP system HAS to be shoehorned into Minecraft, whether it crashes servers or nullifies months of leveling, or anything else that makes the game unplayable. The furries are fucking you all up the ass at this point.

Notch invented a new mob: The snowman. http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/116449292859883520
You're able to craft these, who will run around spreading snow everywhere, and throw snowballs at other mobs.
While a craftable mob is a pretty cool concept, pretty much everything Notch has come up with lately fails at the question "...but what GOOD does it do?".
What GOOD does pushing mobs around with snowballs do? What GOOD does having to shovel your driveway constantly because of a mob do? The universal question that Minecraft has begun to orbit is "What faggotry is this?".
First giant mushrooms, then mooshrooms, and now this?
Also, are you ON shrooms, Notch?
Where's the hundreds of bugfixes that you should be getting around to?
Where's simple NATURAL stuff like moss growing on cobblestone?

This is not as much Minecraft sucking, as it is general information:
If you are able to master the new critical hit system - jumping and hitting the mob while coming down - you can do very well with just a wooden sword, and as well as a DIAMOND sword with a stone sword on regular mobs. (Steel swords are now noob swords, because they only improve normal damage on all mobs - criticals are the same.)
Of course you can do very well with any sword regardless, if you're just careful.

I think that Curses ethnic cleansing of non-furries and mature people, are going on at the wiki too, but that they're trying to hide it using the abuse filter bot, because people are getting banned forever for using "disallowed words". "Disallowed words" are usually swears (that will melt the brains of faggots, I guess), but there's nothing even close to swears in the latest bans:
"You need to stop adding that video. Not only are you edit warring, you're not following the Video Policy. --JonTheMon 21:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)"
"== 1.8 Pre-release mob IDs ==
I noticed in the 1.8 pre-release that you can no longer see mobs' ID numbers above their heads when using F3. Should that be added to the change list?"
Further, they're done one after another, 16 minutes apart, in response to posts made 2 days ago and 9 days ago. Automated bots don't behave that way.

For instance, Maissimies was perma-banned after just one single edit in total, namely:
"* Possibly portal to other save-file"
Naturally you'd wish to check out what exactly the abuse filter WOULD block, as being perma-banned would be something one would wish to avoid, but this is being kept secret, and you're met with the message "You may not view details of this filter, because it is hidden from public view.". This is not something that should be hidden from public view, but it is hidden to make it able to ban anyone for anything.
According to the logs, there's only two users who has ever tampered with the abuse filter: Curse staff member Wynthyst and 18yo wiki-admin Quatroking, with Wynthyst being the one who did the latest modifications.

It's so easy to see what the problem is with Minecraft, that I almost feel embarrassed to have to come out and say it. But what we have here once more, as with Seiklus, or Flow, or Flower, or Braid, or Spelunky, or any of the other so-called "indie" abortions, is the same old story, and if there's no one left reviewing games today who actually knows anything about them, and such blatant failings can pass by everyone else unnoticed, I guess I am just going to have to take a few moments out of my day to sit down, write a few words, and point them out.
Most people who've heard about this game will doubtless have seen at least one or two screenshots of some of those huge, elaborate and colorful structures that Minecraft's most intrepid, let us call them "players", have been building: from giant castles, cities, futuristic landscapes and the like, to detailed recreations of anything from private residences to cars to fucking Imperial cruisers from Star Wars, and so forth. And I mean, seriously, there's no denying the darn things are impressive — at least the first time you see them, and until you've realized what's wrong with them.
And what's wrong with them, to cut this short and get to the fucking point, is that they are DEAD. EMPTY. BARREN. LIFELESS — devoid of ANY complexity apart from the primitive physical properties of a bunch of colorful blocks placed in more or less eye-pleasing patterns, get it? — something which is not at all the case with the original sandbox-type game (Sim City) and its by-now practically countless descendants. For a city in Sim City is FAR MORE THAN A BUNCH OF COLORFUL BLOCKS RESTING ON EACH OTHER. It is, or at least does a pretty darn decent job of simulating, a living, breathing, growing or declining (depending on the player's skill) urban agglomeration with its own rules and constantly evolving properties. The structures in Sim City, in other words, COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. Its simulated streets are filled with simulations of cars carrying simulations of people driving back and forth from their simulated homes to their simulated workplaces and shopping in the simulated malls. The airports in Sim City ACTUALLY FUNCTION (you can even see the simulated planes flying over your simulated city, and sometimes even crash into it)
The ports and stadiums and railways likewise. Contrast this to a "city" in Minecraft, which has the exact same properties as a "city" built from Lego blocks — I.E. NONE. It just sits there and does nothing. If Sim City is supposed to simulate a city then, Minecraft IS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMULATING LEGO BLOCKS. CAN YOU INTERNET FUCKFACES SEE THE RETROGRESSION NOW? I mean what's next, a "game" that simulates NOTHING? Because, if we pursue the "indie" bums' relentless downward plunge towards minimum complexity, that would be the next logical step.

What's worse: Minecraft wasn't at all intended to be a building game to begin with. It was all about man vs. nature survival - about braving the horrors of deep dark caves. Then the faggots invaded and turned it into Lego + Disneyland.

Realizing that having Curse fire his entire fanbase in the interest of acquiring another one, didn't leave him with fans he could rely on to improve Minecraft, and realizing that his own ideas were fucking horrible, six hours ago Notch resorted to bribing any professional reviewers with "loads of free money" if they gave the game good reviews.
"In the interest of confusing things for everyone, I will give every reporter who gives minecraft a good review actual money. Loads of it.
It's not a bribe! It's just free money."

The Minecraft wiki used to be run by Quatroking and Citricsquid, who were pretty anti-faggot, but his all changed in February this year, when users Bumble and Kaelten appointed Wynthyst to assume control over the wiki in the name of Curse, and Wynthyst has been running the wiki since. No doubt that's when the "abuse filter" began banning everyone non-furry above 18.
I hear Guild Wars is releasing wearable FURRY EARS to its players.
Who is running the wiki there?
Curse, through Wynthyst.
Coincidence?
I bet furry ears will be a fact in Minecraft in just a few years.
